Advantages: Readable and comprehensive coverage of a key war we don't know enough about.
Disadvantages: A potential wrist cracker.

I have a confession. I am a history junkie. I am one of those annoying people who shout out the answers during University Challenge and Eggheads. I can probably bore for England on the Tudors and thanks to tracing the family tree to some characters who we ... Read review

Advantages: Well written, engaging read of parts less travelled
Disadvantages: May think other countries more worthy of inclusion.

I was delighted when, as a member of the Amazon Vine programme*, this book popped up on my list to order. I am a big fan on the Lonely Planet Guide Books and this seemed a bit different from the norm. The book is entitled Badlands: 'A Tourist on the axis ... Read review

Advantages: Informative and Readble.
Disadvantages: It does go into depth.

Okay, at the time it was an Abbey but as I was taking the 'out of headlines' approach to titles it had to be that. If it had not been Richard's skeleton, it would have been, 'Henry VIII's Dad'. Which sums up the problem and opportunities for any writer o ... Read review

Advantages: Ok read
Disadvantages: Bit patronising in places

This is the second book in the 'Carrie' series by Candace Bushnell. Unlike her earlier books, this one is aimed at a more teenage audience, and is the story of Carrie Bradshaw's move to New York. Few are unaware of who Carrie Bradshaw is - the heroine/n ... Read review

During my weekend flying visit to my parents in rural South Wales, my mother thrust a book in my hands and told me I had to read it before I returned home, a scant 36 hours later. Never one to resist a challenge, reader I succeeded. As a farmer's daught ... Read review

I read the sequel to this a while ago - it was okay, if a bit rambling, but there was so much reference to Toby Jug that I was a bit put off... and not at all tempted to get hold of this first book! by Kukana
